Masthead Styles and Font Styles.



I discovered from the polls that the most popular mast head name was SOULMATE!. So i began editing......

Masthead One...





This masthead, I think is my favourite because it contrasts so well with the colour scheme. Just
looking at it, it's very eye catching and i think that it would stand out amongst the rest of the magazine. Additionally i think it give a unique take to the original styles of the genre. Normally when looking at a music magazine in general, as well as a soul magazine, there is very little variation in the styles of the masthead. Most use block simple fonts that stand out on the page. However i feel that this masthead is just as effective as the others in catching the eye of the reader.


Masthead Two....



This masthead is very similar to the previous masthead, with reverse colouring which also creates contrast. There are also very few lighter masthead, giving it a unique edge. However, this only downside to this masthead is that, in comparison to number one, it doesn't stand out and i feel that it would blend in to much with the rest of the page, meaning that it will barely be seen on the shelves.


Masthead Three...











 





This, i have been told, is the best one out of the three. Once again, it fits with the colour scene and particularly with a white background, i think it would the most effective and would go with the picture more effectively.




Font Style    Font Style


 This is the font style that i have chosen for the writing throughout the entire magazine. I think that this font is clear and effective for the younger and older readers. Also it is not too intimidating in the sense that it isn't too professional. If it were, i think it would create the image that it is for adults and that it would contain language and information beyond the readers. This clear writing shows that it can be read by anyone and that it isn't not beyond them.

  1. I like masthead number 2 but it might be nice if the lines around the edge where if a contrasting colour. The font for the copy of your magazine is a little traditional - think about whether you want a serif or sans serif font - how 'serious' do you want your text to look?
